Public pressure against glyphosate in countries across Europe has been intense, with nearly 1.5 million people petitioning the EU's health commissioner, Vytenis Andriukaitis, for a ban on the substance, the Guardian reported.
After a Dutch parliament vote opposing the renewal of glyphosate's permit, the Netherlands called for a postponement of the EU-wide decision. "If there is no possibility to postpone the vote, then we will vote against the proposal," said Marcel van Beusekom, a spokesman for the Netherlands agriculture ministry.
The move by Sweden and the Netherlands follows the announcement on Friday by French Minister of Ecology Ségolène Royal that France will vote against the EU re-licensing of glyphosate.
Royal also added that France was not backing the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on their recent safety assessment of glyphosate and was instead basing their decision on the report of the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015, which declared glyphosate to be a probable human carcinogen.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

the rank and file rejected it so now the sole representative of each of the 28 members will be on the firing line and of course it will be approved. This is a tried and tested and verified way of getting what the corporate hegemony wants.
You let the populace have their say and then with that handy little qualifier slipped into the legislation that defrauds the populace say, the corporates get what they want and nobody is the wiser; the populace never hears about the approval as it is kept on the QT until long as possible, and the corporates toast their done deal as they probably are doing right now.
